Category: Edition 1997

Synopsis
Summer 1969. Andrea, thirteen, goes on holiday to his grandparents house on the lake. As always, all the family is present: his mother, beautiful but dissatisfied; his father, always away on business; two couples of aunts and uncles who are very different amongst themselves; his grandfather who cannot resign himself to the fact that he is growing old; his grandmother, Lea, who, each summer, writes poetry for an old lost love. The village has always been, for Andrew, a protective, safe island where, each year he finds his band and organises concerts exclusively for the girls he wishes to conquer. However, something around him is beginning to change.
